Semper fudge.

Asides

  • I Was There

    99U dug up this fantastic interview with James Murphy (of LCD Soundsystem) that covers feeling like a failure in your late 20’s and how to deal with it. It’s something I really wish I’d heard when I was floundering hard a few years ago.

  • The Standards Manual

    I’ve always had a very large soft spot for subway maps. Especially the one Massimo Vignelli did for New York City back in the 70’s. So when this NYCTA Graphics Standards Manual surfaced earlier this week I was thrilled. Hopefully I can get a little time to obsessively study it this weekend.

  • Clean Old WordPress Core Files

    For the folks who haven’t committed to cleaning the unused core files out of their WordPress install, the Old Core Files plugin for WordPress looks like it should be useful. I only say “looks like” and “should” because I’m already tidying my site’s files on the regular. But this’ll definitely save me from having to do my…

  • The Kitten Covers

    Alright, The Kitten Covers… You win this round. Also, this site has been a thing since 2011? How have I not managed to hear about it before today? I must be getting bad at using the internets.

  • So Busy

    Note to Self: Stop saying that you’re “busy” when people ask about the things that are happening in your life. Everybody is busy. Besides, it’s a boring fucking answer. And it makes you sound like a real asshole too.

  • Factory Records

    Hah! This Charlie Brown record collection meme is cracking me up. [via]

  • Infinite Scroll

    Otto‘s done a great tutorial on implementing one of the more glossed over parts of Jetpack 2.0: Infinite Scroll.

  • Shumway

    I’m all for Mozilla’s open SWF runtime project Shumway, but I really hope its main use is to support legacy Flash content. Because the last thing we should be doing at this point is encouraging people to use Flash instead of HTML5.

  • Incidentals

    Sweet! Cabel Sasser finally released the long-awaited soundtrack for The Incident! And it’s got a ton of bonus material to boot! So go grab it! Or else I’ll keep using exclamation points to end every sentence! FOREVER!

  • Stock & Larder

    The Salt & Fat guys have thrown together a fantastic list of kitchen essentials at Stock & Larder. If you’re looking to round out your cupboards — or you’re trying to come up with something for your favorite home chef this holiday season — you ought to consider checking it out.

  • DDecode

    While JSDetox is great for ripping through JavaScript malware, it doesn’t really handle obfuscated PHP. Fortunately, the gang at Sucuri has set up DDecode to process (and act as a sort of a pastebin for) those nasty little bits of PHP code.

  • Fake Louie Episodes

    Sad about “Louie” going on hiatus until 2014? Me too. At least we’ve got @FakeLouieEps to hold us over until then…

  • Kanye Wes Anderson

    The second I saw the picture above, Kanye Wes Anderson became my new favorite site on Tumblr. [via]

  • NESception

    I totally love how this enterprising Instructables user crammed an entire NES console inside of a Super Mario Bros. cartridge!

  • Unknown Pleasures

    I’ve known the story of the cover artwork for Joy Division’s Unknown Pleasures for quite some time now, but it’s always a pleasure to be able to hear Peter Saville talk about it. [via]

  • Gauge

    [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPcqx06zsds?rel=0] I’m really happy that Venus Patrol tipped me off to Gauge [iOS]. Ever since I grabbed it a few days ago, I’ve been playing it kind of a lot. So much so that Super Hexagon is sitting there, getting all jealous. What can I say? I’m into the quirky humor, love the distractions that try to thwart your…

  • Sentry

    Sentry is a realtime event logging and aggregation platform. It specializes in monitoring errors and extracting all the information needed to do a proper post-mortem without any of the hassle of the standard user feedback loop. I saw this and thought “Oh, that’s pretty handy.” Then I noticed that someone had thrown together a WordPress plugin……

  • Chrome DevTools

    Use Chrome’s Developer Tools a lot? If you do, you’re going to love this laundry list of tricks. [via]

  • Social Login Buttons Suck

    The MailChimp blog’s got a pretty compelling argument against social login buttons. I would say that I could agree more, but I can’t. It’s not possible. [via]

  • xkcd in LaTeX

    I seriously love that the nerds over on Stack Exchange are working out how to do xkcd style graphs in TeX. My only question is, now that the info’s out there, who’s working on the WordPress plugin to leverage the LaTeX support built into Jetpack?
